DO NOT STUDY BEFOREHAND!

Be humble.
Pay attention in class.
Be sociable with the others, you're all in the same boat.
Be sure to lighten up and have a few jokes handy.

You WILL ace the systems test if you study the CBTs...

You WILL pass your oral if you study what the instructors tell you to study (It's a lot of info BUT the way it's laid out is VERY intuitive)

Be sure to visit Vinny's when you need to unwind. Get the double IPA.

You've got 5 FTDs and 9 sims before your type ride....you'll be VERY ready when your day comes.

In fact it was lower at the legacies than Spirits the last go around when they came off strike.
3000 over five years is also a huge stretch.
That's also if it stays at 65, which in my opinion will be 67 before it's over.

Everyone chill, there's a contract on the way. There's squares to be filled first. That's all.
I agree with Chilli. Well said!

It's a great training department. From the ground instructors to the check airmen.
You could get the Quizlet app, search for Frontier Airlines.
Load up the lights and switches, limitations etc and use the flash cards to study.
You'll get plenty of sim time.
Good luck.

I'll agree with this as well. Our training department and the guys in there are great.

For now yes, but they are expanding. Initially I think they just had one city (mco) with 2 hotels, but they have expanded.

All of you fellas (and ladies) are awesome. Thanks for the insight. Looking forward to beginning this new chapter with F9!

What is the crashpad situation like in Mco these days? Any decent ones? I.E. own bed and resonable transportation options? I'm thinking of bidding MCO in this latest vacancy, and will be right on the edge of holding a flying relief line or possibly an all RES relief line. If there are suitable crashpad options, I might go for it. This would be for a June 1 base transfer. Thanks for the insight!

There's a Frontier crashpad north of the airport with a car. Decent place with a gym, pool, racquetball court, etc. There are flyers around for F9 MCO Crashpad.
